Koelschtrinker	2.9 Nivoo Tripel Oxidierter Beginn. Mild hefig, herb kräutrig, süffig. Moderate Würzigkeit, weich karbonisiert. Unauffällig, nett. 10/9/8/8/6/9 Wednesday, August 22, 2018
TBone	2.8 Nivoo Tripel Bottled 330ml Hazy yellow color, cloudy white head and lace. Grassy, slightly fruity, "Leffe-like" aroma. Medium-bodied. Flavor has also Leffe: green apple fruityness, grass and belgi yeast. Simple belgi tripel. Saturday, August 27, 2016
oh6gdx	3.2 Nivoo Tripel Bottled. Golden colour, mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is bready, some mild yeast, and a bit fruity notes. Flavour is fruity, floral, grainy and some slight toffeeish notes. Saturday, August 27, 2016
corkyrory66	2.4 Nivoo Tripel Triple avec malt d’orge et du froment. Niveau abv de 7 %. Mon exemplaire était exactement 2 mois après sa date. Couleur doré moyen, à la clarté nette. Bulles fines par dizaines en fontaine centrale, pas très vive, mais jolie. Mousse balnche, qui reste en nappage de flocons moyens, stable à 2 mm. Arômes de malt grillé, houblon, pain gris, pointe de légumes verts, un peu étrange. 1ère bouche souple à l’entame correcte malt/houblon, avec une épice fleurie. Arrière-bouche assez équilibrée, mais pas très ample. 2ème avec des fruits blancs. Arrière-bouche plutôt lisse, et sans complexité. 3ème avec un petit fruité agréable. Arrière-bouche comme la 2ème. Longueur où on retrouve un peu plus d’ampleur, et du fruité basique. Jambes longues mais pas très définies. Levure douce, un peu fruitée, ligne correcte. Alcool qui lutte pour l’équilibre, mais est parfois un peu perdu. Finale douce, mais sans aucun envol. CONCLUSION : une bière qui avait des idées, mais manque de complexité et de personnalité. Elle navigue dans une petite moyenne. Wednesday, May 18, 2016
erickok	3.4 Nivoo Tripel Light copper, small head. Sweet Belgian yeast, cake, wheat, hopless, some alcohol too. Very sweet aroma taste is a bit more balanced due to big carbonation and simple starting bitterness. It’s decent enough, nothing you never tried before. But a very nice mouth feel. (33cl bottle from Dekoninck) Thursday, April 28, 2016
fugitive	2.9 Nivoo Tripel Bottle.Color hazy orange with small white head. Aroma malt, floral, spicy. Taste malt, some fruits, spicy. Wednesday, February 3, 2016
MoritzF	3.4 Nivoo Bruin (bottle, 33cl) Dark brown colour with a ruby shine and a brownish mid-sized foamy head.

Roasty malt character with notes of coffee, caramel, chocolate and delicate hints of dried fruits; sweet and mildly roasty bitter finish with caramel, chocolate and stronger fruity notes. Likeable. 07.I.16 Thursday, January 7, 2016

Alengrin	3.5 Nivoo Bruin Bottle from Willems (Grobbendonk). One of the two Nivoo beers from this relatively new contract brewer. Typical Belgian ’massieve ale’ with hazy bronze colour with bright ruby hue under a thin but stable, light beige head consisting of minute bubbles, breaking open after a short while; slight gushing. Aroma is a bit crude, but not unpleasant: lots of brown sugar and candi syrup, caramel, a ton of coriander seed, tea leaves, fondant chocolate, cookie dough, banana ester, toasted bread, roasted hazelnuts, orange peel, plum brandy, old raisins, candied figs, hint of brandy, burnt wood, touch of band aid and quite some iron. Sweet onset, candi syrup, raisins, banana, sourish redcurrant touch, relatively strong carbo, bit minerally, ’Belgian’ yeast spiciness over a full, somewhat resinous, smooth, caramelly, clearly nutty and eventually lightly toasted maltiness (as in: dark malts effectively applied here), finish of persisting caramel malts with a chocolatey touch, banana yeastiness, strong resinous coriander (almost overpowering), slightly peppery and leafy hop bitterness providing some balance against the sweetness and of course the expected, rum-like alcohol warmth. Decent sipper, should have been a lot more complex, rich and refined if it wants to rival the classics in this style and in that sense still has a long way to go, but for such a young beer company, this is very enjoyable - has some ’niveau’ indeed. Recommended for those who are into the Belgian abt or dubbel style, but not (yet) distinguishing itself as much as it could have. Unlike many other ’new’ Belgian beers in the traditional Belgian ale styles, it does not show any true flaws, though I’d strongly recommend these guys to take it easy on the coriander - there’s more than enough of it in Belgian beers as it is.

kraddel	3.6 Nivoo Tripel Bottle Pours rather clear blonde small white head fades fast . Filthy sweet scent . Not sugary or malty , but more chemical ... Weird . Lucktly that its not too intense . High carbo , rather thin mouthfeel . Taste is weak , but not bad . Grainy , sweetness from the malts ( no more of that chemical things ) . Not that bitter . Sweet maltyness with a hint of grains . Not too bad , unexpectedly . Especially like the aftertaste , which is intenser sweetness from the malts . Een tripel voor singles met nivoo ! Thursday, March 6, 2014
kraddel	3.6 Nivoo Bruin Pours dark dark brown ( almost black ) under a good , bit darker foam . Smell is sweet, earthy malts . Rather high carbo Taste has some metal ( in a good way ! ) sweet, earthy leaves a bit . some bitter touch , sweet. Aftertaste is more intence , all of the above It’s very nice ! I’d think this would be a 3 ,8, at least, if it had a little less carbonation . Carbonation now overpowers the first tastes , wich i don’t like but is mostly the case with Belgian beers .

mjik83	1.5 Nivoo Bruin Bottle of 33cl at beercafe in Maastricht, Naovenant in it's original glass. Also a raisin taste simular to the tripel version. Also a sour prune taste I don't like. No option to try again. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Saturday, November 30, 2013
MoritzF	2.7 Nivoo Tripel (bottle, 33cl) Hazy, golden colour with a big and off-white frothy head. Yeasty, slightly vinous, if not vinegary fruity aroma with shades of bread and cara-malt. Moderately sweet and slightly sour flavour, medium bodied with a lively carbonation. Delicately bready (cara-)malty taste with hints of citrus and shades of herbal hops; slightly sweet and sour-fruity finish. Rather disappointing. 19.XI.13 Saturday, November 30, 2013
mjik83	2.2 Nivoo Tripel Had a 33cl bottle at beercafe Naovenant. Orange coloured beer, tastes like a box of raisins. Not my cup of tripel. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Saturday, November 30, 2013

Benzai	3.6 Nivoo Bruin Bottle @ home. Very dark brown color with a deep dark red glare coming through, medium sized light brown head that lasts for quite a while.

77ships	3 Nivoo Tripel 33 cl. bottle @ home. Procured from Willems. BBF 06/02/2015. Hazy darker orange, touch amber, fading white head. Strangely sweetish smell, touch plastic, chemicals, candy sugar, hint rotting strawberries, plastic caramel malts. Bitter plastic, cheap honey, liquorish, bitter spices, touch Indian spices taste, very sweet, more cheap honey, touch fermenting strawberry, oily, nuts, some vegetables. Body is bit pricklish. Almost like a very bad mead overall. It is not bad but a bit far from my preferred flavour profile. I liked the Bruin but this one is not my thing even if objectively not too bad.
